Extract

There is considerable interest in using drinking water as a vehicle for the medication of early weaned piglets. A prerequisite of effective medication via drinking water is an accurate assessment of water intake. Unfortunately there is no published information on the water intake of early weaned piglets under modern systems of housing, feeding and management.
